SATURDAY appears to be runaway
day in Mineral Point. Luckily, only
one took place last Saturday. A
team owned by II. i. Shepard came
to town in the morning with a load
of wood, being driven by hired
hand. While unloading the rack
tipped at one end. This frightened
the horses and off they dashed, com
ing down High street at lively
pace. Near the II. S. Hotel the team
collided with MIR. Sprater's delivery
rig, smashing both hind wheels bad
ly. One Of the runaway horses was
blind and fell at this juncture, put
ting an end to their flight, which
seems fortunate, for had they con
tiuued down street the result would
likely have been more serious. Ru-
dolph Spratler, who was endeayoring
to steer the delivery rig out Of the
way, was slightly shook up, but re
ceiyed no injury.
BURGLARS made a futile attempt
to blow open the safe in Mr.. Sprat.
ler's store last night. Evidently
entrance was gained through back
door, as the same was open in the
morning. A hole was bored in the
side Of the safe and powder run in,
but it proved too small charge to
accomplish the desired purpose.
The heavy door did not suceumb; a
sprung hinge being the nearest to it.
Upon opening the safe this morning,
MIR. 5. found nothing damaged eX-
cept a small memorandum book,
which was considerably scorched.
a sledge, brace and bit and chisel,
the property Of Mr. Ed Curnow,
wheelwright, were found near the
safe. There is no evidence that the
store was ransacked; nothing is
missed. Many are of the opinion
that the rascals are home parties
A family residing up stairs was not
disturbed in the least.
THE new beetle recently report
ed as destroying potato vines in
this vicinity is thought by Prof.
Henry, Of the state agricultural ex-
pertinent station, to be a species of
the blister beetle genus llytta).
He says the only remedy known to
him is to scatter straw between the
rows of potatoes, whip the beetles
into it, and set the straw on IRE. The
pest is described as having a body
about three-quarters Of an inch long,
taperlng from the back part-which
is quite broad-down to a point at
the mead. 1t is stripped like the
ordinary potato bug, and has six
legs, with which it gets over the
ground with great speed The
head is clearly separated from the
body by a neck, and Is round in
shape. 1t is very lively in it's
movements and exceedingly diff
cult to capture. The new pest be-
gins at the bottom of the leaves and
works upwards and is creating con-
siderable havoc in some portions.

APRopos of the weather, it is
instructive to know that there are
100000 pores in the human body,
aud that each pore is quarter Of
an inch deep. If the pores were
hitched together in one string they
would reach a distance of twenty
eight miles, When you remem Der
that twenty-eight miles of drainage
is bringing its sewerage to the
surface of the body, the necessity
for frequent baths this weather can
be appreciated.
